AERIAL WAR ON SUBMARINES.—The newest type of American anti-submarine aeroplane, the Lockheed P2V-5. The first of a large number of these planes will go to the United States Navy this month, and others have been ordered by Great Britain and Australia. The P2V-5 resembles earlier models now flying with the United Nations forces in Korea. The chief external difference is the addition of a nose turret armed with cannon. Although its range and speed are substantially the same as those of earlier types,' the new aircraft carries appreciably more radar and electronic equipment.
